Web Service Date Question

Good morning, I'm currently trying to figure something out connecting to web services from a filter with AR System. The web service I am connecting to requires the date to be in a format like "-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ" for GMT. However, the only option that I seem to be able to send through AR

Removing Generic categorization Items

Is there a way to remove all Generic Categorization items? I used to DMT (itsm 7.6.4) and loaded about 293 items. They are there when I select the drop down to do a search, but they are not there when I want to select them. I want to delete them and start the load over, or heaven forbid enter

Re: Web Service Date Question

I think you are consuming the web service. What is the data type of that attribute in WSDL definition? Is it Date Time? I think the only way is to pass it by altering the format in character field as you mentioned But will the target system accept the data type as character field? Or do we

Re: Web Service Date Question

Yes, I am consuming a web service, and I think you understand the problem I’m running into perfectly. It would be very easy for me to format the dates in a character field (I’ve already done this as a test) but can’t find a way to pass it to a date field on the WSDL. I’ve already had to

Re: Web Service Date Question

Oops, you’re right. That was me typing the date out by hand, not what is actually being sent from the request. Unfortunately the project is somewhat politically sensitive within my organization so I have to tread carefully with how I interact with them and where the issues are perceived to be

Re: Web Service Date Question

Hi , I am not sure I understood your query but if you want to pass specific offset in webservice then you can alter the offset using + or - HH:MM Or you can store the offset in character field and create date format webservice accepts. Regards, Jayesh -Original Message- From: "Pierson,
